center, and in any case not later than two years after the effective

date of this article, the commissioner shall select a public or

nonprofit private organization to administer each center. The selection

of such an organization shall be made after consultation with local

government agencies, and shall take into consideration the experience

and capability of such organizations in administering the services to be

compliance with the regulations prescribed by the commissioner.
